Rizelmine

Rizelmine

In the present, the Japanese government has been conducting experiments to genetically engineer a human: a girl named Rizel. The experiment was a success -- sort of. While healthy and cheerful, 12-year-old Rizel also ended up possessing the uncanny need for “love” to further her development, as well as tears which were in fact volitile explosives! When sadness can end up destroying a city block, what's a girl to do except... get married?! For Iwari Tomori, the young man chosen as the most appropriate partner for Rizel, life is about to change, for better or for worse!

In both Sumomomo and Rizelmine, the female characters try to marry the male characters but are rejected. The stories circle mainly around the two main characters' love.

FalseDawn FalseDawn says...

Like male characters who don't pay any attention to the females who drool all over them? Both Rizelmine and Momomo have some off-the-wall humour and they're very much in the same vein with the way they portrays ecchi. I like to think of Rizelmine as Sumomo's older cousin...

YannickR YannickR says...

Both anime are about a girl who wants to marry a guy and moves in it with him,everyone apprroves of this except the guy himself.

tonkatabe tonkatabe says...

you'll like this too because both male leads are forced into a marriage with a loli type person and they get into funny situations trying to get out of the marriage.

alexander alexander says...

Sumomo is Rizel on Speed. Both male leads are forced into engagements with naive girls wielding huge destructive power.

Damaged Damaged says...

Both of these anime are about a girl that is has this extreme 1 sided relationship going on with the main character. So they are both extremely similar in that way.  Another huge similiarity is that both of these girls really want to be married to this guy who is always (and I do mean always) pushing the girl off of them.  Not to mention that in both of these anime the girls start living with the male character that they love right off the bat and the girls are both extremely powerful creatures.  Chances are if you liked one you'll most likely enjoy the other

unitzero unitzero says...

Both Sumomomo Momomo and Rizelmine are stories based around small underdeveloped girls suddenly moving in with a guy and the proceeding chaos that ensues. In both cases, said "girlfriend" is completely willing to sleep with the male lead right away and ultimately desires marriage. Both series feature a male lead who is not into this idea at all. If you enjoy wacky comedies based around this concept these anime are required viewing. If you happened to watch one or the other, and liked it, you will certainly enjoy the other.

Grach Grach says...

In both series, the lead character constantly deals with the advances of a girl who desprately wants to marry them. For the most part, both also ignore them quite frequently. For majority of the time, the plot revolves around this 'dance' between them, and the comedic issues that arise!

If you enjoyed either Rizelmine or Sumomomo Momomo, then the other is a good next watch!

Mumyoo Mumyoo says...

In these anime, two boys with basically no martial arts experience find themselves and their lives changed through martial arts. While Kenichi from History's Strongest Disciple embraces it and Koushi from Sumomomo Momomo runs from it, both have great comedy from the random characters they encounter through martial arts.

rogueman999 rogueman999 says...

Both anime have an initially weak shounen as the main character, who is introduced in the world of martial arts by the much stronger female character. Both have a lots of comedy, with a clean and positive sense of humor.

This being said, Sumomo is more obviously a comedy, while Kenichi is a shounen with more action, so this should be taken into consideration.

flyboy42 flyboy42 says...

fanservicy action shonens that are vaugly funny are these.

And really these are the olny action shonens that I watched for no reason and didn't really like because these are too action fanservicy.

plus they have similar titls, if it means anything.

sabrielsharmony sabrielsharmony says...

both series are funny and both series feature a "normal" male lead surrounded by a bunch of crazy martial artists who are insanely good at fighting.

Tenjho Tenge

Tenjho Tenge

Toudou Gakuen is no ordinary high school. There, during the Meiji Restoration, fighting masters were forced to gather from all over Japan to re-establish the martial arts. Amongst the student body is a group of immensely powerful fighters who maintain order through absolute power. This "Enforcement Group" is locked in a feud with the Jyuuuken Club over matters of love and death. Now, two newcomers have disturbed the order of this school, becoming entangled in this vicious feud. Caught between sexy babes and terrible powers, the battle to be the strongest begins!

Fighting, scantily-clad females, and the men who somehow get mixed up in it; both Sumomomo and Tenjho Tenge play around with one-sided sexual tension, and follow it up with martial arts.

Menchi Menchi says...

Both TT and Sumomomo are basically about martial arts and fighting. There is some love, drama and romance in both series too, and school is the backdrop of most of the events. It's the good moves and ass kicking that really gets these anime going!

YannickR YannickR says...

Both anime have alot of fighting in it,on top of that both main characters have a girl after them that they themselves don't like at all.

Sombrastatic1990 Sombrastatic1990 says...

I remember reading the Manga for this anime and it was silly as hell. The main character wants nothing to do with fighting and would rather be a judge or something and when momo shows up he basically gets her to fight his fights for him. Which usually leads to some very flashy fights and some crude humor as she is always trying to sleep with him.

My Bride is a Mermaid

My Bride is a Mermaid

While visiting his hometown, junior high school student Michishio Nagasumi's life was changed forever when he nearly drowned. Though he was saved by a mermaid named San, there’s a catch -- her family is part of a merfolk mafia, and they abide by a strict rule: If a mermaid is discovered by a man, either he or the mermaid must die. That is, unless the man marries into the family! Faced with such a decision, Nagasumi can only oblige their customs and become a "happy" newlywed. Now, with a new school year around the corner, Nagasumi must find a way to deal with his new bride, keep her true nature a secret, and most importantly, escape inevitable death at the hands of San's over-protective father’s gang!

Lazuline Lazuline says...

Love has always been a mystery to those who are not under her sway. She comes and she goes as she pleases yet the manner for which she bestows herself is indeed alluring. They say that love comes naturally to those who fate favors, yet can love be born when destiny wills it against the very individual who the love is for? Such is the destined love being depicted in Sumomomo Momomo and Seto no Hanayome.

The two series tell the tale of how a hero's love is born from a heroine's love whose meeting with him was preordained. The two, however, show it in distinct yet similar contexts. One does so with a yakuza (underground organizations) oriented setting whereas the other depicts it with the orientation towards Martial Arts. The heroes themselves vary as one is more accepting whereas the other denies it. Ultimately, it is these varying similarities that paved the way towards the beautiful connection between the two that will allow viewers who value one to likewise value the other.

samie samie says...

Both anime are similar. In both, there is some sort of an arranged marriage. In both, the individuals have to live together and sort out their relationship. There is some fighting aura/power in both. One being martial arts and one being gang violence.

Although the relationships are different, both were entertaining to watch, and both were humorous. 

Maburaho

Maburaho

Kazuki Shikimori is a 17-year old junior studying at Aoi Academy, an elite school for the magically gifted. However, unlike enrollment to the school would suggest, his magical prowess is below-average. In fact, he can only use magic eight times in his life, or he will die. But not all is lost: Kazuki's family tree includes the latent genetic material for magical greatness. After that information leaks out, Kazuki suddenly becomes the most popular male student in the school, and girls from powerful magician families begin chasing him to get his genes.

Damaged Damaged says...

Sumomomo Momomo is very similar to Mabuharo i.  At the very begining of SM (its getting tiring to type lol) there is a scene where Momoko's father is telling her that she will marry the strongest man and produce the strongest offspring.  Well, that is a big chunk of the show and that is pretty much what Maburaho is about.  Also, both these anime have all the girls just swooning for the male lead in the traditional harem sense. 

Magikano

Magikano

Haruo is a short geeky schoolboy with a whiny voice and glasses, and the only one in his family without magic powers. Therefore it should come as no surprise that his life is a constant struggle to prevent being ravished by any nearby female. When a witch under a curse named Mamiya enters the fray, Haruo's precious maidenhood that he holds onto so dearly is placed in grave danger. With the added risqué brought on by the arrival of this new number one contender, Haruo's struggle becomes even more desperate, and his hidden powers begin to awaken.

Damaged Damaged says...

I couldn't compare Sumomomo Momomo (SM) to Maburaho with out comparing it to Magikano since Maburaho and Magikano are verbatim the same anime in my mind.  Both of these anime feature a male that has some super ultra mega untapped power that the girls want (more Momoko in SM than others).  In SM, Momoko wants to have Koushi's kids because she will produce the strongest offspring cause Koushi is apparently the man and in Magikano Mamiya also needs to get into the main male leads pants because he is also the man (but she's not trying to make offspring, her reason is different, but that would be a total spoiler lol).  And, naturally, the main male lead is totally oblivious to his super mega powers in both these shows

The Familiar of Zero

The Familiar of Zero

In a world where magic is a reality, the young Louise is at the bottom of her class. Dubbed "Zero" by her classmates at Tristein Academy (due to her zero success rate for magic), Louise (along with all first year students) was charged with summoning a familiar; and instead of a cute magical creature, the familiar arrived in the form of... Saito Hiraga, a normal Japanese boy who was abruptly teleported from his own world?! Can both Louise and Saito come to terms with their new and complicated "relationship" and (more importantly) help Saito find a way home?

This anime is a great one if you like the over bearing circustances Haruo has to put up with. Then check out Saito's problems this guy just can't buy a break. Funny yet heart warming story of a Ordinary boy in an Unordinary world having to serve an exceedingly unsucceful witch in training, will he survive this ordeal and make it back to Japan watch it and find out.... you wont be sorry.

Sora no Manimani

Sora no Manimani

Years ago, Saku moved away from his hometown, leaving behind his friend and tormentor Mihoshi. As a child, Mihoshi constantly forced the bookish and shy Saku to play and look at the stars; and now, as Saku moves back home to attend high school, he prays for a quiet school life free from her grasp. Unfortunately, Saku’s desires are quickly shattered as Mihoshi catches sight of him and convinces him to join the school’s astronomy club. Alongside Mihoshi, the other club members and Hime - another girl from Saku’s past who’s determined to win him over - Saku continues his dreadfully unordinary high school life with a grimace and positive attitude!

Sora no manimani is the thinking man's Sumomomo momomo. The're no action, the spunky female lead isn't begging for sex and I don't feel like I need a shower everytime I watch an episode. That also means that the famale characters have more personality and dimentions (2 more to be exact)

Besides, it's not like sumomomo momomo had particularly good action.

Himawari!

Himawari!

Years ago Hinata Himawari was saved from an airplane by a male ninja with a tattoo on his neck, and she’s wanted to become a ninja ever since. In the present, Himawari has been accepted into the secret ninja school for girls, Shinobi Gakuen; but upon her arrival she finds much more than she was expecting: Marikoji Hayato, the school newest teacher who has a tattoo just like her benefactor! Himawari decides to claim him as her master and vows to train her hardest to become a ninja worthy of his praise, but both Hayato and she face a great deal of skepticism from the students and staff. Regardless, Himawari is determined to be the best ninja she can be, and Hayato is determined to pay off his debt!

Htieks Htieks says...

So, we have two incredibly energetic young girls obsessed by martial arts (as far as ninja skills and shooting dragons with your hand are considered martial arts); and then we have their love interests, a common poor weakling who has nothing to do with these practices but is constantly involved in bizarre and nonsensical situation. Oh, and then there are a lot of other girls with weird habits and each with her own personality.

To be honest, neither series is THAT good (though I think the pink shortie is much funnier), but if you don't take them too seriously they will prove a good way to spend some time.

  • Due to this they'll experience never imagined situations that will put them in danger while also learning to find themselves and grow.
  • In both animes the male protagonists are loved for more than one girl.
  • Due to the female, they'll have to face constant enemies with the same objective of taking them down.
